The Political Council of the SPS should revise its decision on the division of electoral districts between SPS and YABLOKO

"I think that the federal Political Council of the SPS will revise its decision on setting its candidates in electoral districts that were coordinated during negotiations between Irina Khakamada and Sergei Ivanenko," the Chairman of the YABLOKO party Grigory Yavlinsky declared today during a meeting with journalists in St. Petersburg. According to Yavlinsky, the electoral districts in question are the districts where Sergei Mitrokhin, Alexei Arbatov, Sergei Popov, Anatoli Golov ,Sergei Ivanenko and Valeri Borschyov will be campaiging. As soon the SPS recalls its candidates from these districts, we shall take the same step in other districts in response," said Yavlinsky. Yavlinsky thinks that in this case YABLOKO will not put forward its candidates in the districts where Griogry Tomchin, Irina Khakamada and Boris Nadezhdin are going to run their campaigns.

"We don't think it is proper to fight against the SPS in single-mandate districts," stressed Yavlinsky. He also stated that YABLOKO would be glad to support a number of the SPS candidates in single-mandate electoral districts,"and hopes that the Union of Right-Wing Forces will support YABLOKO's single-mandate candidates. Yavlinsky also noted that "St.Petersburg electoral districts constituted a significant topic" and called on journalists not to make a fuss about this issue. "Everything will be fine" and agreements will be reached with the SPS, he said.
